Just a really really good podcast. Simple, to the point & funny.
I want to like this - but I will only listen to it when it’s a guest that I love. Russell needs to stop interrupting everybody and turning into a story about him. There are so many times when the guest never gets to finish their story because it becomes about Russell. So irritating!!
Love the guests and the free flowing of chat

Love this show and it’s always making me laugh. Good positive energy
First time listener and honestly Dan Snow needs to be going into schools, on the news and more podcasts to remind us how precious democracy is. 👏👏
